An incomplete copper alloy forked spacer from a composite Strap-End of Medieval date (AD 1300-1450). The object has a U-shaped frame, with a lozengiform, collared acorn projection, , from the opposing end two arms which form the forked spacer. Both arms terminate at different points, due to old, abraded breaks. The knop is thicker than the rest of the flat frame.
Several similar composite strap-ends with circular spacers can be seen in Egan' and Pritchard 1991, 140-1. They would have had circular and/or trapezoidal plates soldered on to form front and back plate and are dated…
